The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 935

Felicia quickly gathered the documents in front of her.

Gavin watched her movements with a faint smile. "Are you really that busy?" he asked, stepping forward to place an insulated takeout bag on the coffee table. He unpacked it, pulling out some tacos. "I brought you a late night snack. I went all the way just to pick this up."

Felicia looked at the food he offered, set down her files, and reached out to take it. "Thank you," she replied quietly.

Gavin leaned back into a single armchair nearby. He glanced at the documents she had been reviewing but made no move to inspect them.

"Why are you here?" Felicia asked.

Gavin shifted his gaze back to her. "I just came to check on you. I was worried you would be overwhelmed with grief, but you look okay to me. Puts my mind at ease."

Felicia took a bite of her food, set the box down, and met his eyes. "Just say what you came to say."

Gavin's expression sobered, his tone turning exceptionally serious. "There is indeed something I need to discuss with you. You need to prepare for the worst, Evelynn. Countless eyes are already watching this place, and the bank bills will soon follow. Once clients start withdrawing their funds, the company will face massive, devastating losses. You simply cannot handle it."

Felicia stared at him intently. "So what are you trying to say, Gavin?"

"You are a smart woman, Evelynn. You know exactly what I mean. At the very least, I will guarantee you walk away with your rightful share."

Her voice remained incredibly calm. "So you want me to take the money and walk away?"

Gavin did not reply, his silence serving as a tacit admission.

Terry offered a quiet nod and left the office.

That night, Felicia slept in the office, but true rest evaded her entirely. Every time she closed her eyes, the image of Max leaving surfaced in her mind. Whenever she opened them, the massive, empty office greeted her in absolute silence. Under the dim lighting, shadows seemed to gather like dark clouds threatening to swallow her whole. Unable to bear it, she turned the lights up to their maximum brightness.

She glanced at the wall clock. It was already one thirty in the morning.

Suddenly, her phone lit up. She hurried over and saw a message from Darin: "Felicia, I have arrived." He had wanted to call but feared waking her up, so he opted for a text instead. The moment she read the message, Felicia immediately dialed his number.

The call connected instantly, and Darin's deeply concerned voice came through. "Still awake?"
